Foundation Primer

Many girls skip a very important step in their makeup application, a foundation primer. This type of product helps you create a perfect canvas for foundation application. I find that Quo makes the best foundation primer for dry skin types because it’s got a bit of an oily texture but it’s not greasy. You’d apply this product after you’ve cleansed, toned and moisturized your skin. You can use either your fingers or a fresh sponge to apply this product on but avoid the eye area. Quo does sell separate eye primers that are meant to be applied around the entire eye lid and eye area. I think it’s best to massage on foundation primer gently to the face with your fingers and then wait about 2 minutes to let your skin absorb the product. Any dry areas that were there before you applied this primer should have disappeared as soon as you massaged this product on. This will smooth your skin and give your foundation that you’d put on next, a longer wear.
